#385 "Elon, NHJ, and MJ"

Dec 14, 2022

Recorded on Sunday afternoon, this now-vintage episode was consider lost forever, after a certain Fifth Columnist discovered that he still doesn’t understand how computers, cameras, and microphones work. Well….lost until we (i.e. Moynihan) found a weird backup copy of the episode on the Twitch servers! So…a few days late, of variable quality, and now available for download:

Back to the “Twitter files,” reluctantly
Everyone loves Joe McCarthy
Yet another James/Jim Baker
The pointlessness of trying to control speech
The Times pickets
The Times returns, writes an absurd article about Cuba
A Michael Jackson hagiography on Broadway

The Fifth Column

Your weekly rhetorical assault on the on the news cycle, the people who make it, and occasionally ourselves. Kmele Foster (Freethink), Michael Moynihan (Vice), and Matt Welch (Reason) talk and laugh and drink their way to at least quasi-sanity in a world gone mad, often with the aid of clean and articulate guests. Weekly Members Only subscription edition often comes with listener mail and professional-quality (if inappropriate) singing. Analysis. Commentary. Sedition.
